Continuing to add more and more parts, starting with the firewall and floor stiffeners installed as well as all the little gussets.
Next I drilled the spar tunnel to the floor. I was a little concerned about making sure it was perfectly straight, but by some ridiculous coincidence I noticed I could put my yardstick against it and install clecos in the empty holes behind it, and that held everything straight.
Finally, I installed the upper firewall. Although the plans didn't mention it, I guess I needed to trim the lower corners off to clear the engine mount blocks. Not too big of a deal; after some trial and error I got everything to fit and clecoed in place.
